Connectionists: Last Call for Papers: MIRASOL @ MICCAI 2026 – AI for Medical Imaging in Resource-Constrained Settings

[Brain and More Lab]

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to submit your work to the MIRASOL Workshop at
MICCAI 2026, taking place on 27 September 2026 in Strasbourg, France (moved
from Dubai due to the Ir4n-USA situation).

MIRASOL (Medical Imaging in Resource-Constrained Settings) brings together
researchers, clinicians, engineers, and policymakers developing AI and
medical imaging solutions that improve healthcare where resources are
limited. Whether your work focuses on novel machine learning methods,
clinical applications, or real-world deployment, we welcome your
contribution.

Topics of Interest

We invite submissions in areas including:

🧠 Machine learning for medical imaging in resource-constrained settings
📱 Low-cost imaging, ultrasound, X-ray, smartphone-based diagnostics
🌍 Healthcare impact, implementation, and policy
🤖 Agentic AI and capacity building for global health
📚 Education, sustainability, and AI for equitable healthcare
Awards & Opportunities

🏆 $500 Best Paper Award

🌟 $500 Impact Award

✈️ Travel grants available for eligible early-career researchers from LMICs
and under-represented regions.

💻 Free computing resources available for eligible LMIC researchers through
the generous support of the Digital Research Alliance of Canada.

Important Dates
Paper Submission Deadline: 15 July 2026 (last 48 hours)
Notification: 15 August 2026
Camera Ready: 3 September 2026
Workshop: 27 September 2026

(All deadlines are 23:59 Anywhere on Earth.)

We would greatly appreciate it if you could share this call with
colleagues, students, and collaborators who may be interested.

We look forward to receiving your submissions and welcoming you to
Strasbourg!

We are also working on a collective papers about neuro solutions or
low-income countries to be published on Frontiers in
Neuroimaging/Neuroscience.  If you have ideas like this one feel free to
